(Not audible) PAUSE Kept drifting away from the target here. PAUSE What was that? 7#66: Do you think your imagery is valid? PAUSE #1: Yeah. But there's the building that these hostages are in is I'm pretty sure, fastened to another building that's smaller. But, I'm not entirely sure whether or not that's completely accurate. Say that. It is in a long line of buildings, approximately the same size. Its on astreet corner and . . its very much related in some way to this decorative building. Like its a compound of buildings that represent some offic function of some sort like its a like this building is the functional part of this entire I complex of buildings right in here. #66: Okay. #1: As far as their function . . . PAUSE And I keep seeing the differences between the decorative building and this building, I keep seeing a dividing parking area. When I look at the overall overhead view of the way that the buildings are laid out, I'm not sure if this is like off the one end of the E or off the actual end of the building. You know, its actual position in relationship to the decorative build- ing is difficult. . to ascertain other than the fact that its right next to it. Its kind of a confusing . kind of a confusing thing. PAUSE So, on Page 1, 1 guess I'll do a picture of the interior and just work out from there. #166: Okay.

This larger portion being flat roofed and the attached portion is not flat roofed. PAUSE I sense on the third floor there's stairs about like here that go up. PAUSE Stairs that go down. And at this portion of the wall is like a . . a corridor that goes like this. And that this area is all open here. Over in this area. Its all open here. Its like a desk or something. Here. I think there's . a lot of small rooms in a row down this corridor Its like a dormitory type effect. And I don't. I don't get a. strong impression that these are cells or anything, that they are used for some other reason, but I just get a . . . there was like 10 or 12 of these and about the first eight, which I'll mark with X's, are occupied by hostages. 7166: Okay, when you originally described them, you said they were like cells and then you kind of kept exploring them and then you said well they're really not cells. #1: Right. I don't know how to explain that. #66: How were they furnished? #1: Very, you know, a small table, or a stool or chair that doesn't have any back or arms, a stripped bed and essentially that's it. From what I can see. I was for some reason, I was particularly interested in finding a mirror in one of those rooms and I don't know why but I was unable to find a mirror and I don't know why I had that distracted interest. in finding a mirror. 1#66: Okay. J,1: So you know, I just have, there's some- thing like scratching in the back of my mind here and for some reason I had an interest in a mirror and I don't know if that. didn't notice if there is some kind of glas doors or what, you know, but it one-way or t w ne- ~vayor two-way glass of some sort. servation type ti typ( 12 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788ROO0800250001-7 Approved For Release 2000/08/Ot 'J I AI-liii, 6-00788R000800250001-7 ~2, room. Its like if you were to go into a hospital and say okay, we're gonna take this whole floor right here and we're going to put on locks and heavy steel fire doors to all these rooms and we' re going to call this now a detention room. Or a detention floor. #66: Okay, so were these rooms locked? #1: Yes. They were locked with slide locks from the outside. Heavy bol t slide locks. #66: And the doors were . . What were the construction of the doors? . . When you looked at them? #1: Just metal. They didn' t appear to be, you know, heavy. I would call them fire doors more than I would cell doors. #r Okay. 6 6 #1: 1 think that's the flavor I'm getting . . . from this. You know, its the way the thing is constructed. For economy reasons, it would make a fairly good cell. If you bad the people and they were close (not audible) observation. But would not normally be used for a cell that holds prisoners. I have a strong feeling that this is some kind of a this building has someth in t h a correctional institution, but . Qng~ ~aprDison #66: Okay. #1: Correctional institution. Its almost like, you'd never have prisoners there permanently. It was like a holding area or something but not really police associated. Well, that's not really true. r#66: From your diagram right now, I didn't want to interrupt what you were saying before, from your diagram before, what you have right now, I can't tell which side the doors to these rooms are in relationship to the stairway. #,1: Okay. I'll just put the doors in here. 71r66: They're on the stairway side then? 13 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788ROO0800250001-7 Approved For Release 2000/08/uf 6-00788ROO0800250001-7 #l: They're on the stair - the desk side, where this gu2rd, and I'll put a "G" in guard, is sitting. Call him a guard, but I don't sense lie's armed. PAUSE That's kind of strange. Down here was like a room in this corner that had some people in it. PAUSE And they're sitting like at a table or something. Its like a break area of some sort. PAUSE r#`66 #1: 7#66 These are also guards. And two of these are armed. Now, you were saying before something about, this is like a correctional institution, but not a prison. Right. -And police oriented. #I: Well, no. This sort of confused me a little bit. PAUSE You know, I have an analytic problem here. I have a personal desire to say, Oh yeah, this is police station. And I think that's analytic because of what I'm remote seeing. And, I would be more inclined to say that its got the flavor of a correctional institution but I wouldn't jump to conclusions and associate it with the police. You know, I feel like that would be analytic for me to say that. #66: All right. #I: And I don't want to say that. But I do see that these guys that were in here are wearing some kind of a uniform shirt. Maybe its some kind of an adopted uniform or something for their particular brand of nationalism or something. I don't know.

You know, I'm not TURN OVER TAPE I'm not sure I want to say that sort of thing. Its just strictly an analytic problem. Its probably better if I don't. #66: Okay. .4 rrl: This. . This building. . .
